I'd call Ho-Oh Phoeling, a mix of phoenix and what could be interpreted as feeling or healing, fitting its role in the story and traditional myths about the phoenix.

>beast trio
Registorm
Regiflare
RegiH2O

Their names are all some variant of king/emperor + their respective element in Japanese, so I put Regi as an English equivalent.

>Lugia
Silveruga (silver + beluga).

>Ho-oh
Phoenix.

The Japanese name is literally just the creature its based on, so the English name should do the western equivalent.

>Celebi
Oberene (Oberon + serene)

Anyone remember the naming threads for the Spaceworld leaks?
I stand by Straike, Enferno and Monsuin for the Legendary Beasts.
It's a bit hard to say for the rest. Pretty much any pure-English puns will definitely sound wrong, because Legendaries are generally named to be usable in as many languages as possible since most of them don't get localized—even if we're trying to give them English names, I think either incorporating (recognizable) words from other languages or making English puns based on their Japanese names is the way to go.
